Real-Time Locating System in Care Environments
RTLS brings instant visibility to people, equipment, and alarms — helping care teams respond faster, work safer, and use their time where it matters most.
What does real-time locating mean?
An RTLS solution shows continuous real-time location of alarms, people, and equipment — both indoors and outdoors — with room-level accuracy.
Location is based on a wireless infrastructure and small tags that can be used as:
-
staff safety tags
-
patient or resident tags
-
equipment tags
Functions can be tailored to your care processes.

Why use RTLS with nurse call and personal safety?
Real-time location is built directly into our nurse call and personal safety system. Staff and patients carry small safety tags that work both as call buttons and locating devices, allowing every alert to include accurate location automatically.
Faster response
Alerts show who needs help and where. The right information reaches the right people instantly.
Improved safety
Precise location data increases both staff and patient safety.
Less searching — more caring
Healthcare staff spend on average up to 72 minutes per shift searching for equipment, colleagues, and patients.
Better situational awareness
Alerts and tasks are visible on mobile devices, displays, and corridor indicators — keeping teams informed.

✔ Location-based nurse call
✔ Staff personal safety alerts
✔ Patient and resident locating
